From Ocean City, Maryland to San Francisco, Reynolds traverses the back roads and small towns of the USA, taking the pulse of Trump’s America as he goes. With remarkablecandour and insight, not to mention a humorous and sometimes sceptical eye, he observes the States today.
As he moseys from east to west, driving slowly, stopping frequently, he meets Trump's countrymen and women - white, black, Hispanic, Asian, native American; Christian, Muslim, atheist, Mormon, Mennonite; rich, middling, poor. They talk about everything from slavery and Indian reservations to Butch Cassidy, and Marilyn Monroe. Everyone has something to say about Donald Trump, whether they love him or hate him.
Reynolds follows the direction of history, the direction taken by explorers and pioneer settlers. As he travels he conjures a vivid picture of the US then and now; its landscape and its people in all their diversity.
